Introduction for Kordell Norton for Recruit & Retention Workshops, and marketing and planning workshops for educators

===================================================================

Our presenter today, Kordell Norton, is an expert in Marketing. 

Educators across the country have discovered his high energy, entertaining and humorous style and his ability to translate "marketing" into something understandable and applicable.

He has a rich background in business having been a senior executive at several multi-billion dollar corporations where he held positions like 

• Vice President of several Call Centers with over 500 sales agents who handled a quarter million phone calls a month from corporate customers

• Director of Marketing with a $31 million dollar a year budget where he managed marketing for names like IBM, Microsoft, Intel, Oracle and Hewlett-Packard

In addition he was in charge of Organizational Development for a company who was on Fortune Magazine’s 100 fastest growing companies . . .  three years in a row.

Beside corporate, government and association clients, he works with Colleges, Universities, Career and Technical Schools, and School Districts across the country . . .  helping them grow their enrollment, increase retention of students, and improve classroom teaching.

He is a certified Graphic Facilitator and a professional member of the National Speakers Association and author of two books, Throwing Gas on the Fire - creating drastic change in sales and marketing and the about to be released Customer Insights - A Sales Guide for Discovering the Customer’s Problems, Passions, and Priorities.

He is a great supporter of education, as he is the father of six. (can you just hear that sucking sound near his wallet?)
